Going to try to watch Zechiel today in Utrecht's match with Heerenveen. Internet hasn't been too friendly the last few days, however.
Ajax – FC Groningen in the play-offs for European football will be a spicy duel for Dies Janse, who has been loaned out by the Amsterdam team to FC Groningen. He is having an excellent season there. Dick Lukkien is lyrical/very positive about the youngster. For Janse, it will be the third time that he will face Ajax this season: in Amsterdam, FC Groningen lost 2-0, but in Groningen, the most recent edition was won 3-1. Janse then provided the assist on Thom van Bergen's opening goal.
Party in Galgenwaard: FC Utrecht awaits decisive duel with Ajax after spectacle against Heerenveen FC Utrecht has qualified for the final of the play-offs for European football thanks to a strong start to the second half against sc Heerenveen. Ajax awaits on Sunday, in Volendam. Twelve minutes, four goals. It was time to pay attention immediately after halftime in Galgenwaard. First, there was suddenly Stepanov for the home team, who provided a flashy start, after keeper Klaverboer misfired. And then within four minutes both Vente's equaliser, as well as goals from Van der Hoorn and El Karouani. And that after a first half in which the initiative lay with sc Heerenveen and FC Utrecht retreated far into their own half when the Frisians had possession of the ball, with hardly any serious chances to score. However, Trenskow on the side of sc Heerenveen and Cathline on the side of FC Utrecht were the threat. But there were no goals. How different the second half was: with a lightning start, plenty of goals and up and down undulating play, both teams entertained the crowd. The sold-out Galgenwaard got the most to enjoy thanks to the home team, who despite the absence of mainstay Alonzo Engwanda came out strong and suddenly got chances and dealt with them extremely effectively. The result: FC Utrecht will play for the last time this season on Sunday, in the much-desired final of the play-offs. Against Ajax, qualification for the second qualifying round of the Conference League is at stake in Volendam. And they would love to play it at FC Utrecht, at the end of July.
22397 I watched the extended highlights of both matches and they were very entertaining matches. Thank god Ajax saved this way of playing for the but one last match
I watched the Utrecht-Heerenveen match and it was one of the more entertaining matches of the season for me.
22467 If both teams play the way they did in the matches leading to their qualification for this final, I think it's going to be a treat. Maybe a PSG - Bayern score line?
